Employer of Record in India
You choose the people. We employ them.
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a company that legally employs people on your behalf. OmHRA becomes the employer on paper and carries payroll, statutory compliance and HR administration, while the work and day-to-day direction stay with you.
When companies use an EOR
- Entering India: a new GCC or international company that wants to hire before its own entity and payroll are ready
- Headcount freezes: the work still needs people, but permanent rolls can’t grow
- Project and fixed-term roles: specialists you need for a defined period
- Cleaning up contractor setups: moving freelancers or consultants onto a compliant employment structure
What we handle
- Offer and appointment letters, onboarding documents and background verification
- Monthly payroll, payslips and tax deductions on our cloud HR platform
- PF, ESI, professional tax, gratuity and labour-code compliance
- Leave, attendance, insurance and employee queries, with a self-service portal and mobile app
- Exits and full and final settlement
100% of payrolls on time since 2014. Zero compliance gaps.
How it works
- You share the people you’ve selected, their role, salary and start date.
- We issue compliant offer letters, run background checks and complete onboarding.
- They work in your team under your direction; we run payroll and compliance every month.
- You receive one monthly invoice: salary cost plus a fixed fee per person.
Frequently asked questions
What is an Employer of Record?
An Employer of Record is a company that legally employs workers on another company’s behalf, handling payroll, taxes, statutory benefits and HR compliance, while the client directs the day-to-day work.
How is EOR different from contract staffing?
In contract staffing, we find and hire the people for you. With EOR, you’ve already chosen the people, and we only employ them and run their payroll and compliance.
Can a foreign company hire in India without an entity?
Yes. Through an Employer of Record, a company can hire employees in India before setting up its own entity, with the EOR acting as the legal employer.
How is EOR priced?
You pay the employee’s salary cost plus a fixed monthly fee per person, billed on one invoice.
